Emilio Pucci Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear

For her spring 2026 Emilio Pucci show, Camille Miceli summoned her loyal tribe of friends and family, and anyone else tempted by the promise of Sicilian sunlight, a few , to Ortigia, a jewel-box island dangling off Siracusa, where mythology lingers. It unfolded beneath the grand, brooding arches of the Grotta dei Cordari, a setting so theatrical, one expects a Greek chorus to emerge at any moment. Miceli, being half Italian, knows rather well how to wield the charm of the picturesque. But she’s also Parisian, meaning she refuses to be entirely seduced by it. “Let’s be honest,” she deadpanned, “Sicily is a trend. Everyone wants to come here.” After four years steering the Florentine house, Miceli has found her footing. She appears entirely à l’aise, tossing together archival prints and new riffs with a breezy, knowing hand, spiking the whole affair with a cool, bohemian sensuality, and a certain “unpretentiousness.” “Pucci is not pretentious,” she insisted. “We’re not snobby. We’re approachable.” Indeed, hers is not the kind of fashion that requires a decoding manual: You see it, you want it, you reach for it. The clothes are feminine, infused with a buoyant joy that’s often lacking elsewhere. Miceli’s recipe, which is equal parts charm, clarity, and a studied lack of hauteur, appears to be working.
